and she has a step-by-step photo tutorial on how to make them.
And for teatime, we made cupcake owls. We used chocolate frosted cupcakes, Oreo Cookies, Junior Mints and slivered almonds to make them. Open two Oreo cookies, and use the filling covered sides up, for the eyes.

Cut the edges of the other sides of the Oreos (the ones without the filling) to make the ear feathers at the top.

Put a Junior Mint on each Oreo filling to make the pupils of the eyes,
and we used the almond slivers for the beak.

Although we made them together, they all came out slightly different as each person made them to their own taste.

Despite the fact the boys had a good time making them, this project was a little messy for the little ones.

I got this idea from Leah at Almost Unschoolersand she made them for her children, which may have been a better idea. She also has a lot of additional ideas for projects and snacks around the owl theme.
